Abstract: As part of the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area effort to assess the status and trends of the Nation’s biological resources, the Alaska Science Center Landbird Program conducts research on avian populations within Alaska. Beginning in the late 1990s, an outbreak of beak deformities in Blackcapped Chickadees emerged in southcentral Alaska. USGS scientists launched a study to understand the scope of this problem and its effect on wild birds. Since that time, researchers have gathered important information about the deformities and have identified a new virus as the potential cause. The collection of PII is requested as part of this ongoing research in resident Alaskan birds. Members of the public provide observation reports of birds with deformities from around Alaska and other regions of North America. These reports are very important in that they allow researchers to determine the geographical distribution and species affected. Data collection over such a large and remote area would not be possible without the public’s assistance. As part of the online reporting system, an individual’s phone number, email address, and mailing address are requested. This information allows researchers to request additional details or verify reports if necessary but is not required for submission. PII is used only for contact purposes, is stored in a separate table that is encrypted, and is not shared in any way with other individuals, groups, or organizations. Title of Collection: Alaska Beak Deformity Observations. OMB Control Number: 1028–0116. Form Number: NA. Type of Review: Renew an information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals/households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 150. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 175.

VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:37 Oct 07, 2022 Jkt 259001 Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: None. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, nor is a person required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The authorities for this action are the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.). Dated: October 4, 2022. Christian Zimmerman, USGS Alaska Science Center Director.
